Twisted Sister Confirms 2026 50th-Anniversary World Tour

The band named a five-member lineup that omits longtime bassist Mark Mendoza.

Overview

  • The group confirmed a global run for 2026 to mark 50 years, with dates, cities and ticket information still unannounced.
  • Dee Snider, Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda return at the core, with Russell Pzütto on bass and Joe “Seven” Franco on drums.
  • Mark Mendoza is not part of the tour lineup, which French characterized as a typical realignment for a band of this longevity.
  • The trek will be their first full tour since the 2016 farewell run, following only a short 2023 Metal Hall of Fame charity set.
  • The comeback follows Snider’s past criticism of reunion tours, a stance he had recently softened as the anniversary approached.
